Student RSA Design Awards Now Live

The RSA Student Design Awards (SDAs) is a curriculum and competition that challenges student designers to tackle design briefs focused around pressing real-world issues. They have eight briefs this year – each is focused around a different social, environmental or economic issue, and this year the challenges range from designing sustainable toys to designing ways of connecting people to their heritage. For the first time in recent history they are launching an animation brief titled ‘Moving Pictures’, which provides two exclusive audio files from the RSA Events programme, and asks students to produce an accompanying animation to energise and illuminate the content.

There are two cash prizes of £1,000, and a Staff Choice Award of £500.

The deadline for submissions is 4th March 2015. On 16th March judging begins, and the winners are announced on 20th May 2015.

As always, we strongly encourage all of our students to enter competitions and compete at the highest level. Even if you don't win, the process of entering and competing will help you raise your game and improve your work. Competitions are an excellent way of helping turn our students into professional animators and film-makers.
